Alexis
This is me reminding you that you have a novel to write.
Dad
I haven’t forgotten, there’s just nothing coming out on paper.
Alexis
Want me to bring home chocolate and ice cream?
Dad
You are the perfect daughter. PS. Tell your grandma I need Scotch.
Alexis
Already did that.
Dad
Sometimes I swear you were adopted, no one else in this family is so efficient.

Hey Captain,
I have a reporter who wants to do a piece on the whole following Beckett around as a muse thing.
There’s just one tiny little problem. I may have made it seem like I was still doing that and the magazine wants to interview me at the precinct.

Castle,
You’re going to have to try harder to get back in the precinct than that. I’m afraid if I let you in here I’m going to be in trouble with Beckett.
Sorry.

Castle
I know we’re not talking, but there’s a reporter who wants to interview me. At the precinct. It’s been cleared with Montgomery.
Castle
Oh and they want to interview you too.
Beckett
You better warn them I have a gun.
Castle
Oh I have.
Beckett
Where’s the reporter from?
Castle
Some magazine.
Beckett
What magazine?
Castle
…Cosmo.
Beckett
You are so dead.

Just so you know, he ain’t getting off that easily in my books.
No way I’m falling for that charming smile and the bouquet of flowers that mysteriously showed up at the morgue.
He’s got a whole lot of apologizing to do before I’m going to be nice to him again.

Beckett
Don’t think you can buy back everyone’s friendship.
Castle
Is it working?
Beckett
Well Ryan and Esposito are on their way to watch the Knicks play. Lanie’s flowers are in the morgue garbage.
Castle
Well, two out of three, not bad.
Beckett
I’m still waiting for my present, so make that two out of four.

Kate Beckett’s Diary Entry
This case is getting to me, I know it shouldn’t, but maybe it’s Castle bringing everything up again. Just seeing the way the victim’s family reacted when I mentioned that it wasn’t just a random mugging. I remember that feeling and I remember it well.
I hate to admit it, but I a part of me wants to go back down that road, wants to find out what happened.
I’m afraid of what could happen if I do, but somehow it’s comforting knowing Castle would be there with me, no matter how much I should hate him for bringing this all up again.
